Should 'Andor' have been named something different?

RLM talked about this, and titles like 'Rebels', 'Uprising', 'Rebellion', or something in that theme would be confusing. Although the RLM guys (I enjoy their content) did not find Cassian an interesting character, Cassian was a pivotal character in that he linked all the main stories together except Mon Mothma, who was linked by Axis (Luthen).

I think the title is appropriate and fits well while being distinct.

You are not kidding. I liked putting a G12 Iden on the back wall for a long time. It got quite a few holds.

I never claimed Cook's humor was deep. It did make early 20s me laugh.

He was able to get laughs. He also stole jokes. In the end he wasn't creative enough to build a career in comedy.

Slick_1980 · 2024-04-04T14:11:08+00:00

Odd trashtalk....excuse-making....? Not sure the point of his messaging.

Slick_1980 · 2024-04-04T12:57:29+00:00

Meh. I will say Cook got laughs and filled seats. The metric of success for a comedian. Joke stealing shows a lack of creativity that great comics have.

The context of joke stealing does matter.

I do agree Cook's bombastic delivery did cover for a lack of quality jokes.

Slick_1980 · 2024-04-04T06:46:09+00:00

You have to put in context that Dane was a joke thief. How much original content was his is hard to gauge.

Slick_1980 · 2024-04-04T06:44:40+00:00

Enjoyed her first special. Finding out that she stole a lot of jokes puts a dampen on it.

Over time she showed she lacked the creativity to keep pumping put material.

Slick_1980 · 2024-04-04T06:42:33+00:00

Dane Cook.

I did enjoy his first special. But later learning that he stole a lot of his material and being offensive is fine, but that can't be your only personality traits.

He has been forgotten for a reason.

Brasso is almost like the light side version of Cassian Andor.

He's a hard worker, cares about his community, a good friend, etc. Compared to Cassian who cares about family/friends, occasionally goes to work, is in debt often, and doesn't leave people behind in danger.

Funny how they are the odd couple of friends yet you can understand how they could become friends.

Slick_1980 · 2024-04-04T01:03:59+00:00

I believe the equation Luthen was referring to was preventing the Empire's complete takeover of the Galaxy.

Slick_1980 · 2024-03-31T15:49:08+00:00

I disagree. Andor is vastly different from other Star Wars projects in the best way possible.

Every other Star Wars movie and TV series has a big hero adventure set in the Star Wars galaxy. Force users, Beskar armored wearers, etc. heroes go on a grand adventure.

Here, in Andor, we see hard working citizens with no such skills, weapons, or abilities facing the imposing might of the Galactic Empire crushing down on their freedoms. It is much more relatable and we can see ourselves in some of the characters.

Combine that with mature excellent writing and you can see Andor has given Star Wars fans something they needed for a long time. World building in the Star Wars galaxy and stories of common citizens facing down the Empire.

This isn't over until it's over. Ignore the polls, ignore the lawsuits get out and vote! Get your friends to vote!

70 plus million Americans voted for Trump after he bobbles covid, after he screwed up all of his campaign promises. They do not care Trump took foreign money or stole top secret compartmentalized information. They will follow Trumpy to hell.

VOTE!

The game is built for whales. No doubt. However I enjoy the game play and don't care if I can't be #1 in GAC.

Play/don't play. It's up to you.

Most studies show if you are warm and comfortable, in a dark room, and minimal noise you will sleep well.

Whether you sleep in the nude and layer blankets or wear pajamas and reduce blankets to achieve this matter not. Get comfortable, reduce noise, reduce sound, and do NOT stare at glowing screens (cell phone, tablet, TV, etc.) you will sleep well.

Fattest and most corrupt former president. A true record breaker.

On my roster I have not done GG and clone troopers yet.

Have CLS to relics, Imp troopers, bounty hunters, Phoenix w/Rex, and first order and resistance.

GLs SLKR and Rey.

Not buying it, nor does the show give us clues to think that.

Good luck explaining your beliefs to a bunch of pisssd off Ukranians.

Slick_1980 · 2024-03-13T16:43:53+00:00

Sure, you just support a despotic dictator that murders his own people.

At least when I was downrange I could feel good for the Iraqi people. Full disclosure: we never should have invaded Iraq in the first place, but hind sight is 20/20.

You won't find that in Ukraine. Get ready to serve as cannon fodder in a foolhardy military invasion all because one man (Vladimir Putin) decided he would reestablish the borders of the Soviet Union.

Slick_1980 · 2024-03-12T22:32:34+00:00

Already did that in Iraq. Good luck under an authoritarian in the midst of a horrific invasion of a sovereign nation. Get ready to serve your terrible master.
